Ingredient Review
Our review of Essence Air & Gamefowl Recipe Wet Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Turkey. Turkey is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.
The second ingredient is Duck Broth. Duck broth is made by boiling duck meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. When added to pet food, duck broth increases moisture and improves flavor.
The third ingredient is Guineafowl.
The fourth ingredient is Quail. Quail are small game birds that are typically grown for human consumption. In pet food, quail can be a good novel protein source as well as a source of amino acids, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
The fifth ingredient is Duck. Duck is meat from any member of the Anatidae waterfowl. In pet food, duck can serve as a primary protein source as well as a source of animal fat, minerals, and amino acids. It is sometimes used as a novel protein, and is often an ingredient in diets formulated specifically for pets with allergies.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Essence Air & Gamefowl Recipe Wet Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
